Drilling the bar for lights...?

Jon's instructions are for a D4.... D3 instructions for the mounting supports inside the bumper are here VUU500110 mounting instructions

From what I can see though, the genuine mounts with the dress trim on top of the bumper will be way too small to mount the large foot for the Fyrlyts....

Ahh thank you very much for that! I don't wanna fit massive fyrlyts just some smallish led lights.

You can make up a bracket to sit on top of the LR mounts, something like they did on the millionth discovery:

DISCO4.COM - View topic - Auxiliary lights for D4

The principle is the same for both 3 and 4.

Cheers,
Jon

has anyone actually bought these lights as a kit from LR. Are they any good? how much?
can you just buy the mounting kit and get your own lights?

I didn't like the look of the mounting kits too much, was going to fabricate a mounting bracket that was sturdy to bolt in the same spots as the LR brackets, but with triangle bracing etc. However I ended up getting an excellent price on an OL bar :twisted: so will not be pursuing this angle.

The LR part for a D3 is VUU500110. I can upload the fitting instructions if you want to have a look?

Thanks Will but mine is a D4 and I had a look at the Topix instructions.


How much is an excellent price. Since mine is a 2010 maybe they want to get rid of some more :D

It was about 75% of retail, but a one off for a bar that had been sitting there for a year and basically forgotten about.

SO what I need to do is go into an OL shop and stack boxes in front of a suitable bar then go back in 6 months and say hey....whats this :)


BTW I got a quote for LR driving lights. They are $1100 and the mounts $300.

For that price you would come close to an OL bar. Or you could use the mounts and buy a set of Fyrlyt Driving Lights and waaay outshine any genuine lights by miles

that's the way I'm thinking as well. The fyrlyts that is. With the bar I still need to buy lights.
